NL Cy Young analysis
Paul Skenes can't buy a win as the Pirates offense keeps hanging him out to dry. Although win-loss records don't matter nearly as much to contemporary voters as they did to those of yesteryear, his 4-7 mark is ugly all the same.
Could it be Zack Wheeler's time? The Phillies ace lowered his ERA to 2.17 after twirling nine innings of one-run ball vs. the Reds with 12 Ks.
